    @gilmae Only @mseckington knows for sure… ๐Ÿ˜€


    @evanderkoogh +10 for alliteration.


    Playlist of songs with catchiest choruses: great for productivity; not great when you realise you’re CHAIR DANCING TO JUSTIN BIEBER.


    I’m not really a Car Girl, but even I stopped in my tracks when I saw this beauty today. ๐Ÿ˜ https://t.co/l9CQY4S5sS https://t.co/Rhc3ZQndny


    @malcolmsheridan Haha, nah, around the corner from my house in Chippendale. Sun is shining right now!


    @slace You know it.


    @jedws @travisvz @christineliuart Cheers. Here’s a more recent version: https://t.co/jiKNGfO6b1


    Erik and @jedws kicking off #FPSyd and Erik is SWEARING that heโ€™s going to get it on @Meetup next month. (Sure, mate. ๐Ÿ˜œ) https://t.co/hsqlFv2jpB


    I only found out about Goldblumโ€™s sausages a hour ago, which explains why Iโ€™m A) not in jail and B) still married. https://t.co/59BsrFhc5D


    I can vouch for that – very friendly group and well worth visiting/speaking! https://t.co/NlCuOPs2Yl


    @keranm What app is that?


    @keranm Oh cool! I should take another look at that. Used to use Fitbit until my tracker died.

    Goddddd Elisabeth Moss is WRECKING ME. ๐Ÿ˜ญ


    Handmaidโ€™s Tale Ep 1 killed me, even though Iโ€™ve read the book. That last line. I gasped, and then I cried. She has a name. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    Handmaid’s Tale – OH MAN, SO GOOD. That last line killed me. How do you get shocked by a dramatisation of a book you’ve read? Her name. I cried. And it’s only episode one. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    @LapTop006 @evilZardoz Excellent! I’ll have to get the burger next time. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Whoa. For the first time in six months, I have no confirmed upcoming speaking gigs. Time to send some submissions, I guess!


    @unixbigot I did! I thought it was cool until I realised itโ€™s the size of a small car, practically. ๐Ÿ˜‚


    RT @NicSampson: A lot of people have been asking about my infamous playlist for having sex so here you go ๐Ÿ˜‰ https://t.co/phjhB8VHBF


    @joshduck Wait, are you in Sydney?!


    @LapTop006 You must be a neighbour! I live down the hill in Chippendale. ๐Ÿ‘‹


    Hoodie progress! The back is done, and I’m working towards neck split on front. https://t.co/dZ3QhJzg6K https://t.co/sIWcUKbMuI


    @joshduck Oh cool! Got time to catch up? Marlous and I will be in Surry Hills tomorrow – could easily meet you for a coffee around Central!


    @MelissaKaulfuss Hm. If you wanted to increase your ROI and give it again… @DanSiepen? I’ll vouch for her. ๐Ÿ™‚


    I should add – if any tech meetups/events are looking for a speaker, get in touch. ๐Ÿ˜‰ https://t.co/6o9On0mlnd


    @pwcc Sadly no. Will be there the 4th to host YOW Night. How about in June?


    @caseywest @googlecloud Go you! Congrats. ๐Ÿ˜‰


    @TheRealBnut Yeah, @desplesda and @The_McJones have already been whispering that too. ๐Ÿ˜


    @TheRealBnut I reference that blog post in my talk, which you’ve never seen. ๐Ÿ˜œ


    @TheRealBnut This is going to be the canonical one – previous versions were way shorter. https://t.co/jiKNGfwuMr

    FUUUUUUUUUU. So my repair didnโ€™t go as well as I thought. https://t.co/NwNAhgRn4v


    Dear @cheekytransport – this was very misleading for a girl pushing a bike with a flat. โ˜น๏ธ (Theyโ€™re closed.) https://t.co/rGawJDOquz


    @lucykbain @ncss I had an iOS app that did that, I think. Official by Lego as I recall…

    My nickname at @canva was actually “Kayriss” to distinguish me from the various Chrisses. ๐Ÿ˜‚ https://t.co/Ns7ynWwjzG


    @FakeSamRitchie @canva That is some next level, “I had to google that” geekery right there. ๐Ÿ‘


    @saberkite @canva We both know the answer to that question is “Not enough.” ๐Ÿ˜œ


    @parisba Hm. Tempted.


    @The_McJones @parisba I’m going to the US for eclipse in mid-August – so just depends whether I can come back and go straight to a conf talk.


    @TheRealBnut @The_McJones @parisba But then I wouldn’t get to have all the dudes tell me what a Jacquard loom is.


    @yow_conf Delete your account.


    @nemshilov You coming to YOW! West? We’re trying to reach you via email. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @randomknits …so still 6x as much as you intended. Seems about right. ๐Ÿ˜€


    ๐Ÿคข The cafe I had breakfast in had a “Red Velvet Latte” that apparently involved batter. BATTER. https://t.co/T7annKovT2


    @gilmae A charcoal latte sounds like something you give someone who is POISONED, to CURE THEM.


    @indefensible Doodle… like, you know?


    @indefensible Yup – totally agree.

    @themaninblue Iโ€™d be lying if I said the thought didnโ€™t cross my mind.
